For some reason when I compile a C program in gcc, double backslashes within quotes are stripped. But if I compile with Visual Studio this does not happen. I used a small test program to demonstrate.

Thanks, Glenn
bash is stripping the double backslashes when using " , try ' $ ./a.exe -s something 'something d\:\\hello' Command-line arguments: argv[0] ./a argv[1] -s argv[2] something argv[3] something d\:\\hello CL: "E:\cygwin64\tmp\a.exe" -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
